go beyond recall.<br />

Retell<br />
Application:<br />
Analysis:<br />
Synthesis:<br />
Evaluation:<br />

create/design …<br />
What would the result be if you combined…<br />
What are your points of agreement/<br />

Even when you pitch your questions at a particular level your<br />
students may not answer at the same level. Restating your<br />
question while emphasizing the type of answer expected might<br />
lead students <strong>to</strong> begin thinking at higher levels. Once again, when<br />
students understand what is expected they will perform better.<br />
